I thought that it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It could have been improved if the romance between Arthur and Trillian were kept off to the sides and not replaced the ultimate reality of Life, the Universe, and Everything as the central theme. Also, time is not a valid excuse for cutting a lot of the good lines - the movie only ran 1 hour 50 minutes, so putting back some of the good bits that got cut would have not forced the runtime to be excessive. I’d still recommend seeing it, but it doesn’t meet the usual “See it as many times as you can” rating that I usually give to
Hitchhiker’s.
I also posted a really thorough review at
http://www.goobergunch.net/index.php...chhikers-movie - just be warned, it contains a lot of spoilers.
And yes, I did bring a towel.
